I watched it too the other night and know I'll be watching again. It's quite a film.
If you just have a Netflix DVD subscription the DVD's availability is "unknown," but it's available for viewing online right now. I have a Roku and watch Netflix that way on my TV.

Re: Henry "Box" Brown
There is an entire chapter on Henry "Box" Brown in Jim Magus' "Magical Heroes: The Lives and Legends of Great African American Magicians."
You're probably aware of this, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to mention it.
Good luck with your hunt.

Re: iGenii for March Now Live!
The print issue arrived in Wichita yesterday. I was delighted to see Dr. Edwin Dawes on the cover, and immediately read the whole piece. (Well, I took my coat off first). Kudos to Clay Shevlin for an excellent interview, and Ricky Jay for the introduction. A fine tribute to a very inspirational man.
